I'm trying to install a round-formatted domed camera (for small size) inside an 8" (?) heavy duty bollard for License Plate Recognition and I'm wondering if people have any suggestions as to whether this will work. I'm thinking of using a 1080p camera because I've heard their sensors are more sensitive in low light compared to 4K. And I'd also like to install it behind a somewhat darkened polycarbonate cover to somewhat obscure the appearance of the camera and disguise it as an outdoor driveway light. This is for a residential application.
Any comments, critiques, or suggestions?
